    Accurate preoperative imaging is crucial for surgical success. Using radiopaque markers in dental wax rims during CT scans precisely maps surgical sites, improving orientation and reducing anatomical errors.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Dental Technology

    Background:

    • Preoperative imaging is vital for surgical planning.
    • Accurate correlation of imaging data to the surgical site is often challenging.
    • This lack of orientation can limit the benefits of diagnostic imaging and increase surgical risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a method for accurately relating preoperative CT scan data to the surgical site in the jaws.
    • To enhance surgical precision and reduce the incidence of anatomical accidents.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing radiopaque markers placed in wax registration rims worn by the patient during CT scanning.
    • These markers identify preselected points on the CT images.
    • A surgical template is then created to transfer the marker positions to the patient's mouth.

    Main Results:

    • The described method allows for precise localization of the surgical site based on CT imaging.
    • The use of a surgical template facilitates accurate intraoperative orientation.
    • This technique is expected to reduce surgical complications related to anatomical misorientation.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiopaque markers in conjunction with CT scanning and surgical templates offer a reliable method for preoperative surgical site identification.
    • This technique significantly improves the accuracy of relating diagnostic imaging information to the surgical field.
    • It enhances surgical planning and execution, particularly in complex maxillofacial procedures.
